Product Details

The blade is hand-forged from spring steel, measuring 28.74 inches with a hardness of 58 HRC. A visible hamon line waves along the polished chrome surface, creating a defined boundary between the hardened edge and the softer spine. The full tang construction runs through the entire handle, secured with a mekugi pin for structural integrity. This is a refined example among Full Tang Japanese Katana builds.

The tsuka extends 10.23 inches and is built on a hardwood core wrapped in black samegawa for texture and grip stability. Silver ito cord is tightly wound in a traditional diamond pattern, with gold-toned menuki visible beneath the wrap. The kashira and fuchi caps are finished in polished silver with gold accent rings, tying the handle's color theme together.

The tsuba is an openwork alloy guard rendered in silver with gold-highlighted floral elements. The design follows a snow and blossom theme, with layered petals and flowing branches carved through the disc. It sits between gold habaki and seppa spacers, giving the guard area a rich two-tone metallic finish. Collectors of this style will find more options in the Silver Flower Tsuba Katana collection.

The saya is crafted from hardwood at 30.7 inches, finished in a distinctive white base with dense black speckle patterning across the matte surface. Polished silver kurikata, koiguchi, and kojiri metal fittings accent the saya's ends and midsection. A silver sageo cord is tied at the kurikata, matching the handle's silver ito for a cohesive monochrome palette.

At 40.94 inches overall and 4.4 lbs, this katana carries visual weight with its silver-and-white color scheme and gold tsuba accents. The spring steel blade, sharpened edge, and full tang build deliver substance behind the presentation, making it a serious addition to any Japanese sword collection.
